Annual Fund 2010-2011
The Fifth year of the Ipswich School Annual Fund looked to build on the success of the previous four years where over £140 000 has been donated and pledged by Old Ipswichians, Parents and Friends of the School. This includes superb support from the Friends of Ipswich School who have donated close to £50 000 to the Annual Fund from the funds raised from their annual event’s programme.
In 2010-11 the Annual Fund raised £30,000 towards the following projects:
